Samsung Galaxy S23 Gaming: Regular Vs Ray Tracing
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy unlocks the futuristic Ray Tracing feature on the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 series. Today, Samsung published samples, flaunting the gaming experience on the Galaxy S23 series, which becomes possible because of the Ray Tracing feature.
The Galaxy S23 series is equipped with a GPU (graphics processing unit) that shows 41% higher performance than its predecessor and ‘Ray Tracing,’ the latest technology that greatly expands the area of graphic expression. ‘ and received the expectations of gaming fans around the world.
Regular Vs Ray Tracing
Ray tracing is a field in that Samsung has cooperated with game engine companies and game developers for many years, so it has been able to achieve efficient rendering. The company has been making various attempts to improve the quality of production while reducing the amount of acid.
The ray tracing development team, who expressed confidence that “you can expect a gaming experience that will make your eyes happy” to fans who are expecting the gaming performance of the new Galaxy S23, also announced their plan to take the lead in revitalizing the technology, starting with the S23 series.
Compared to the existing raster rendering technique (bottom), the ray tracing technique (top) implements graphics with realistic shadow expression (Dynamic Shadow) added.
Ray Tracing Technology
There are no mobile games that support ray tracing yet on the market, but games showing interest in new mobile GPU technology. Their goal is to provide a vivid sense of immersion in the mobile gaming experience with realistic graphics.
One of the developers of Ray Tracing said that “I wondered what the future with commercialized ray tracing technology would look like.” In the future, the company expects that the production and consumption pipeline of graphic content will change to suit ray tracing.
The mobilization of ray tracing technology is just the beginning. Samsung Electronics has been researching and preparing this technology for a long time, so we will lead the industry and rapidly spread the technology, and “finding a way is the next goal.”

Including Samsung, global IT and semiconductor companies such as Google, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm are participating. Companies participating in the RISE project, including Samsung, plan to jointly develop software based on RISC-V.
“We will participate in the RISE project and collaborate with other companies to build a sustainable RISC-V-based open source software ecosystem,” said Park Soo-hong, head of the Open Source Group at Samsung Research and a member of the Linux Foundation board of directors.
It is easy to implement applications or services, which operate on RISC-V-based chipsets, and resources required for development and maintenance can be reduced. It’s expected to be used in various fields such as mobile, home appliances, data centers, and vehicle applications.
Meanwhile, RISE operating board members include Samsung Electronics, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Red Hat, Mediatek, Andes, and Imae Thirteen companies including Imagination Rivos, SiFive, Ventana, T-Head are Samsung participating.

Let’s take a look at how Samsung Biometric Card IC can make card transactions PIN free and convenient, solving one of the world’s most pressing payment and identification problems. The video mentioned below gives you a high-level understanding of how it will change the way people pay in the future.
What the video below:
Samsung Biometric Card IC
An innovative payment card technology called a biometric card offers cardholders a secure and convenient way to authenticate themselves at the point of sale (POS) by using their fingerprint instead of a personal identification number (PIN) or signature.
Cardholders don’t need to enter a PIN for high-value transactions, making transactions faster and easier. An added layer of security reduces concerns about the card or PIN theft and increases confidence in using the card, especially when traveling because you don’t have to worry about fraudulent payments even if your card is stolen or lost.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S23 series brings some of the best camera smartphones out there. Following the launch, it was noticed that the non-Ultra models of Samsung Galaxy S23 have some issues, causing blurry close-up shots, which are now officially acknowledged.
What’s the issue?
Some Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus smartphone users noticed that the area around the subject looks a bit blurred when taking a close-up shot. The impact of this problem is limited to both low-end models of the lineup, while the Ultra remains issue-free.
What’s the reason?
Samsung disclosed through its community post that Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus use a 50-megapixel primary camera powered by AI features and machine learning. The blurry close-up problem causes due to the sensor’s bright aperture, which makes stunning Nitghtography possible.
Fix coming in the future!
Samsung not only explained the issue and shared the reason, but also confirmed that the blurry close-up shots problem on Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus is planned to improve (fix) in a future software update. However, when this software update will release, remains a question for now.
Workarounds
If you are experiencing this on your Samsung Galaxy S23 or S23+, there are a few solutions you can try:
- Try taking a picture from a bit further away; if the subject you are photographing is about 30 cm away, move back a hand’s width
- Try to take a photo holding the phone vertically; if you hold the phone horizontally or diagonally, the background may appear blurred.
Why S23 Ultra is unimpacted?
Galaxy S23 Ultra remains unimpacted from the blurry shot issue as its camera automatically switches to the wide-angle camera and activates the focus booster to prevent blur. But do note that the focus enhancer stops working in high-resolution image mode, possibly resulting in a blurry close-up.
